Complete Tour du Mont Blanc (Huts)

The Complete Tour du Mont Blanc starts and finishes in Les Houches and covers every step of this classic Alpine trek. For the serious walker with a sense of aesthetic there really is no other option for the Tour du Mont Blanc.

The Tour du Mont Blanc is so varied that it is a joy to walk slowly around the French, Italian and Swiss sides of the towering Mont Blanc Massif. High passes, narrow contouring mountain paths and gentle valley walking hide surprises around every corner.

Accommodation is in 3* Hotels on the first, last and seventh nights and mountain huts, refuges and gîtes in dormitories on the other nights. Breakfast is included every morning and 13 dinners. Baggage transfer is available as an optional extra.

The Complete Tour du Mont Blanc includes every stage of the Tour du Mont Blanc. It begins with a steep climb from Les Houches, which immediately immerses you in the glaciers and rugged spires of Mont Blanc. You then follow the trail over Col de la Croix du Bonhomme and Col de la Seigne where you pass into Italy. The Col Chécrouit is the next highlight of the tour as continue through Italy via Cournayeur and Refugio Bonatti.

The ascent of Grand Col Ferret takes you into Switzerland an easier day through the Swiss pastures to Champex. The next day’s walk to Trient via Alp Bovine gives sensational views of the Rhone Valley or you can choose the challenging variant via Fenetre d’ Arpette, a highlight of the Tour du Mont Blanc. You then head into the Aiguilles Rouges Nature Reserve to Lac Blanc, which perfectly frames Mont Blanc and is the perfect last night high in the mountains. The trail delivers a final flourish as it climbs to Le Brévent before descending back to Les Houches.

The Complete Tour du Mont Blanc is ideal if you want to complete the entire Tour de Mont Blanc, an experience filled with superlatives.

Highlights:

  • Complete Europe's classic long distance trek
  • Superb mountain views at every turn of the trail
  • Three countries on one trek; France, Italy & Switzerland
  • Delicious meals featuring the local specialities of each country
  • Spectacularly located mountain refuges such as Refuge Lac Blanc
